Distributed Generation Proceeding Information

Rules and procedures pertaining to Distributed Generation, including the California Solar Initiative and the Self-Generation Incentive Program, are developed within Rulemaking (R.)12-11-005. Rule development related to net surplus compensation, or the implementation of AB 920 (Huffman, 2009) that modifies Net Energy Metering to require payment to excess generation are being developed in Application (A).10-03-001

CPUC rulemakings (or proceedings) allow interested parties to participate in the decision making process. Parties can contact the Public Advisors office to learn how to participate informally, through a CPUC workshop, and formally, by becoming an official party to the proceeding. Only parties can file comments in the proceeding, participate in hearings, and respond to rulings or proposed decisions. The CPUC has a website dedicated to CPUC Practitioners (http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/practitioner) that want to practice formally at the regulatory commission.
